Climate system controls (p. 215) Parking climate
Parking climate is an umbrella term for various
functions that improve the passenger compart-
ment climate when the vehicle is parked, e.g.
preconditioning. Parking climate functions are controlled from the
Parking climate tab in the center display's Climate view.

(p. 238) Preconditioning
Preconditioning the vehicle before driving can
help reduce wear and reduce energy consump-
tion during a trip.
Preconditioning can be started immediately or
started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle's sys-
tems: In cold weather, the parking heater heats the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
In warm weather, air conditioning cools the
passenger compartment to a comfortable
temperature.
The electrically heated steering wheel* and
seats* can be activated.
Heating for the windshield, rear window and
door mirrors are automatically activated as
needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, conden-
sation from the air conditions may drip under the
vehicle. This is normal.
NOTE Preconditioning is only available when the car
is connected to an electrical outlet. A charg-
ing post that is not always active, for example
because of a timer, can cause loss of function
for preconditioning.
If the car is not connected to an electrical
socket it is still possible in a warm climate to
achieve brief cooling of the passenger com-
partment by direct starting preconditioning.
NOTE
During preconditioning of the passenger
compartment, the vehicle works to reach a
comfortable temperature and not the tem-
perature set in the climate system.
